Consider a Claim That 60% of the Mice in a Region

question 8

Multiple Choice

Consider a claim that 60% of the mice in a region have parasitic infections. We can use an ?² goodness-of-fit test to test whether the proportion is indeed 60%. Consider a study in which we collect a random sample of 50 mice and 37 have infections. Calculate the ?² value, and using the table of critical values shown, what is the P-value range we would obtain for our test?
?
$\begin{array}{c}\chi^{2} \text { critical values }\\\text { for } d f=2\\\begin{array}{ll}\text { Sig. level } & \text { Value } \\\hline 0.05 & 3.84 \\0.025 & 5.02 \\0.01 & 6.63\end{array}\end{array}$

• A) 0.05 < P
• B) 0.025 < P < 0.05
• C) 0.01 < P < 0.025
• D) P < 0.01
